   People cannot reach an agreement on the use of science and technology. For example, will radiation from electronic equipment destroy the environment? Should medical scientists change gene structures to prevent genetic disease or to create “more perfect” human beings? While people are arguing about these and others, technology continues to influence our everyday lives—the home, health and education, entertainment and communication, and so on.
   Some people carry on active social lives with computers —their own or the ones in public places like cafes, social centers, libraries, and so on. Communicating with others in chat rooms,  computer users can get to know people they might never meet in traditional ways. With live online video connections, two people with cameras in their computers can see and talk to each other from separate places.
   With modern telephone technology, most people stopped writing lettters—especially personal letters and notes. But now, writing to communicate has returned in electronic form, or e-mail, which is a way of sending messages from one computer to another. For some computer users, the wish to communicate intelligently or creatively with others makes them want to write better.
   Computer technology has also made it possible to run a house electronically. From turning lights on and off to starting the coffee and cooking the hot meal, computers are taking care of people at home. Many modern machines have computer chips that allow their owners to program them. For instance, you can “instruct” a microwave oven how to cook a dish. Most entertainment equipment operates with computer technology too. Computers can even start cars automatically so that on cold winter mornings you can get into a warmed-up vehicle and drive off.
   Although much of the technology in our everyday lives has good effects, there are some uses that raise questions. For example, are interactive media ( i.e., a combination of television, telephone, and computer) going to control minds, cause people to forget about family life and personal relationships? What effects will the genentic engineering of food have on people's health? High-tech medical treatments can make a person live a much longer life, but can they improve the health and happiness of human beings? Only time will tell, but, in the meantime, science and technology will continue to move forward. 

在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。

A smile shows that a person is happy. For example, a person may smile when he or she is pleased {#blank#}1{#/blank#} so me progress in studies or hears a funny joke. There are other good {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (reason) to smile often.

First, it is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(easy) to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, it only takes 17 muscles(肌肉) to smile, but it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. So give the muscles in your face {#blank#}4{#/blank#} rest and smile!

 {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (two), smiling is a way to show you are friendly. People often say a smile is the best thing a person can wear. That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy. Almost no one {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(want) to stay with someone who is always unhappy.

Third, smiles have power(感染力). Both smiling {#blank#}7{#/blank#} laughing can easily and quickly spread from one person to another. When a person laughs, people tend(往往会) to laugh with {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(he) or her. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or a laugh.

 {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(final), smiling is very good for the body. Even though you are sad, try smiling. You {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(find) that it will be difficult to stay sad for very long!

On the night of Aug 11, the Paris Olympics officially closed with an impressive ceremony at France's national stadium (体育场). As the first game started on July 24, around 10,500 athletes from more than 200 countries and regions competed at the biggest sports event in the world.

____

Paris saw a series of "dream-come-true" moments. China's Olympic team delivered its best performance away from home soil, winning 40 gold, 27 silver and 24 bronze medals. Chinese divers and table tennis players swept all the gold medals in their sports. In swimming, Chinese swimmer Pan Zhanle, 20, broke his own world record to win the men's 100-meter freestyle in 46.40 seconds, leaving his name in history. Zheng Qinwen, 21, won China's first Olympic gold in the tennis singles at the Paris Olympics on Aug 3. After withdrawing (退出) from most of her competitions in Tokyo, US gymnast Simone Biles, 27, made a comeback at the Paris Olympics, winning three gold medals and one silver.

Heartwarming moments

Beyond pushing the limits of athletic achievement, the Olympic athletes who participated in Paris will also be remembered for their excellent sportsmanship. After winning silver in women's singles badminton, China's He Bingjiao, 27, carried a Team Spain Olympic pin with her onto the podium (领奖台), showing respect for her semifinal opponent (对手) Carolina Marin, who withdrew due to a knee injury. This act of sportsmanship touched millions.

Better Olympics, better society

The dormitories (宿舍) in the Olympic village will be turned into 2,800 housing units post-Games. By holding the opening ceremony in an open urban space along the Seine, Paris brought athletes, performers and the audience closer together, igniting (点燃) the city of fashion with an amazing carnival.

How to Learn Chinese Well

I started to learn Chinese 50 years ago. It only took me nine months to learn this language well. 

Here are my tips on how to learn Chinese: 

★Listen to Mandarin(普通话)as often as Possible 

The first month or maybe two, just focus on listening. Start learning Chinese by paying attention to listening. Just get used to the sounds. 

★Spend time in Memorizing Characters(熟记汉字)

Once you decide to study Chinese characters, work at them every day. Spend half an hour to an hour a day just on learning characters. Why every day? Because you will forget the characters almost as quickly as you learn them, so you need to remember them again and again. 

★Read as much as Possible

Read a lot. I learned faster than my students 50 years ago, that's because I read everything I could get. I read much more than other students. 

★Speak a lot and Don't Second Guess Yourself

When you speak, don't second guess yourself on tones(音调), or grammar of the language. Just let the mistakes pass. Every time you use the language you are practicing and getting used to it.

Chinese is a difficult language to learn, and speaking Mandarin is hard. These four tips are really helpful for me to learn Chinese.

I was looking for the solution for Chinese learning. Very good article on tips to learn foreign language, and thank you for sharing this article with us.
